COVID-19 Protocol
"From the start of our pandemic responses, diocesan leadership has sought to respond to the pandemic by keeping in mind three touchstones: do our best to take the next right step; love of neighbor; and distinguishing between what Christians can do and what we should do. The Guidelines you are receiving reflect those three priorities.” Bishop David Reed
